Three words/phrases to describe your role

I’d say overall though, the job is very fun. It’s fun working with the team and getting good deals with the team.

I like being able to research new vendors and finding a good deal on a product. Finding something that I used to buy, and finding a better pricing on always gives me a great sense of accomplishment.
What is something that most people at BDS do not know about you?
I have two beautiful little babies. I’m a mom of a 3-year-old and a 4-year-old. Most people don’t think I have kids.

Anywhere with my kids is my happy place.
